Converting Word Works documents to Word documents

[C. W. Williams]

This is my first time using Windows XP, which has Word
Works. It seems that all my documents are saved
with .wps at the end of the document name. When I attach
my document to an email, the recipient can't open the
attachment.

What I need to do (I think) is save my documents as a
Word document. How do I do this? Simple steps, please!

Be clear that Works is *not* part of Windows - and for real advice you
would need to go to a Works newsgroup. The maker of your machine has
bundled Works in with the deal

Works is Microsoft's 'Domestic' office package, in contrast to Office
(which has Word as word-processor). The standard version of Works has
its own word processor, with its own format, indicated by .wps There is
a Works Suite that comes with Word - but it would appear that you did
not get this.
